The School Support Service of Services for Education is made up of the Learning and Assessment Service, and the Health Education Service. Together we aim to provide a comprehensive menu of professional development to support whole school improvement across six themes:

We provide high quality professional development and training for schools and Early Years settings. Our support can be accessed through in-school and centre- based sessions. We are happy to work with whole staff groups, targeted teaching and support staff, governors and parents, or provide 1:1 consultancy. We are proud of our long tradition of supporting schools raising standards in the largest Local Authority in England. We aim to be responsive to school need and are here to help you to improve outcomes for your learners.

We work with schools to identify the most effective methods of CPD by providing the highest quality facilitators - thus enabling the service to be up to date and aligned to the demands of the national agenda and the local context.

The impact on the child is always at the heart of what we do.

We also have a range of programmes and resources to build upon our professional development
